*What you will need:

A white candle (optional)

Protection sigil (optional)

Protection oil (optional)

Protection incense (optional)

Yourself

Undivided attention

Gather your ingredients if you have them and sit somewhere comfortable. Light your incense and enjoy the smell. Open up your space, invite ancestors/spirit guides if you’d like, and invite in protection. Take the candle and carve your protection sigil into it. Rub some of the protection oil on the sigil and imagine the warmth and energy from your fingers heating up the sigil and it radiating heat. Light the candle.

Close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Now, imagine a ball of white light inside of your chest. Hold it there and let it warm up. When it feels right, imagine it slowly growing outward and then around you. Hold that image for a while. Recognize the way it flows around you. If it’s like electricity or like a white fire, whatever it is, really imagine connecting to it and becoming one in the same. Just sit there with your orb of protection and be together. Hold it for a while and slowly come back to earth. Take a few deep breaths and then open your eyes.
